water is the most important element for life.
00:00:16
Fluids occupy almost every space in our body,
00:00:19
both inside cells and outside cells.
00:00:23
Water is essential for all vital processes.
00:00:27
Water in particular facilitates the neurological activity of the brain.
00:00:32
During times of stress,
00:00:33
it is the essential ingredient to maintain physiological and brain activity.
00:00:39
Why drink water?
00:00:40
Water has multiple functions for the body.
00:00:44
maintains the volume of blood and lymph,
00:00:47
facilitates chewing,
00:00:48
food absorption,
00:00:51
serves as a lubricant for the joints and eyes,
00:00:54
maintains body temperature and skin hydration.
00:00:58
Water helps eliminate toxins through urine and sweat,
00:01:02
and the more we are stressed,
00:01:04
the more we generate toxins.
00:01:07
the more water we need
00:01:09
to eliminate them.
00:01:11
A gruelling episode of stress is a bit like running a marathon.
00:01:15
We spend a lot of energy.
00:01:19
stress sweats are smelly because they are loaded with toxins.
00:01:23
In these marathon stressful episodes,
00:01:26
we therefore need a lot of water to cope with the challenges.
00:01:30
Are you stressed?
00:01:33
drink more than usual.
00:01:35
As for the brain,
00:01:36
you will ask me,
00:01:38
is it also made of water?
00:01:40
More than anything,
00:01:41
85 to 90% of the brain is made up of water.
00:01:47
according to Bruno Horst,
00:01:48
is the magic potion for learning well,
00:01:53
and having sustained attention.
00:01:56
Water is a constituent of the cerebrospinal fluid
00:01:59
that surrounds and bathes the brain and keeps it hydrated.
00:02:04
In situations where you need sustained attention,
00:02:07
such as concentrating on an Excel table or driving on a motorway,
00:02:12
just drinking a few sips of cool water will restore
00:02:15
your attention and your focus within a few seconds.
00:02:19
Lack of water can therefore lead to problems with concentration,
00:02:23
but also fatigue,
00:02:27
a lack of water can cause extra stress.
00:02:31
Water facilitates the transmission of electrical messages and the maintenance
00:02:36
of the electrical potential or cells at the correct level.
00:02:41
by the water salt balance,
00:02:44
the flow of chemical messages between cells can only take place if
00:02:49
the differential polarity of the cells is maintained by sufficient salt and water
00:02:56
This is why dehydration causes rapid death.
00:03:00
Nerve messages can no longer circulate.
00:03:03
A lack of water therefore causes a slowdown in the circulation of nerve messages.
00:03:09
Brain activity slows down.
00:03:11
Water also facilitates the delivery of oxygen to the brain because increasing
00:03:17
the amount of water promotes the ability of haemoglobin to carry oxygen.
00:03:24
you now have many reasons to drink water,
00:03:27
especially during times of stress.
00:03:30
How to drink water?
00:03:33
who has a bottle of water on their desk?
00:03:37
It is advisable to drink at 1 litre per day if you weigh 110 pounds or 50 kg and double,
00:03:44
triple if there is stress.
00:03:46
I therefore invite you to take regular micro breaks to drink water,
00:03:50
not stimulants like tea or coffee
00:03:53
that will make you more nervous.
00:03:56
tea is better than coffee because although it is a notorious stimulant,
00:04:00
it has antioxidant properties.
00:04:03
You also have a number of herbal teas with therapeutic virtues.
00:04:08
to deal with stress,
00:04:10
I recommend that you drink
00:04:15
Water does not provide energy,
00:04:17
although it does reduce feelings of fatigue,
00:04:20
but it allows energy to flow better.
00:04:23
I advise you to drink water slowly,
00:04:27
to feel it irrigate your whole body as if you were a plant receiving water.
00:04:33
You can hold each sip in your mouth for a while.
00:04:37
The sensors in your mouth will tell the brain that water is
00:04:40
coming and that it is no longer useful to run on economy.
00:04:47
feel the water going down to your belly,
00:04:50
irrigate your whole body,
00:04:52
and the other drinks you will ask me.
00:04:55
Do you know that when you have drunk too much alcohol,
00:04:58
you run out of water?
00:05:00
Your headaches after drinking alcohol are indeed
00:05:03
due to the lack of water in your brain.
00:05:08
tea and alcohol are diuretics,
00:05:12
they prevent the absorption and retention of water.
00:05:15
It upsets the water salt balance and when this balance is upset,
00:05:20
neurons function less well.
00:05:23
To eliminate coffee,
00:05:24
the kidneys need twice the amount of coffee drunk in pure water.
00:05:30
if you drink a cup of coffee,
00:05:32
drink at least a glass of water immediately.
00:05:36
in Parisian cafes,
00:05:38
when you ordered a coffee,
00:05:40
you were also brought a glass of water.
00:05:43
The tradition is being lost as the habit of drinking water is getting lost.
00:05:47
If you think you don't need a lot of water because you don't feel thirsty anymore.
00:05:53
It's time to retrain your sensory signals.
00:05:56
If when you were thirsty,
00:05:59
you got used to not drinking or to drinking soda,
00:06:03
the brain stopped transmitting the information
00:06:06
that it was thirsty,
00:06:08
it learnt to live economically.
00:06:10
Some other drinks like natural fruit juice have a lot of benefits.
00:06:16
considered by the stomach to be food,
00:06:18
these drinks trigger a digestive process
00:06:21
which in the short term absorbs more energy.
00:06:25
If you drink plain water outside mealtimes,
00:06:28
the water will pass in a straight line from the
00:06:30
oesophagus to the duodenum without stopping in the stomach.
00:06:35
It will thus go very quickly into the tissues.
00:06:38
It is therefore ideal to drink between meals or at the very beginning of a meal.
